There are two types of people in this world: those who treat their nails like a blank canvas for bold, over-the-top artistry and those who keep things chic, clean, and understated. Whether you’re all about dramatic, glitzy nails or prefer something subtle and effortless, one thing’s for sure: Your nails say a lot about your style.
So, are you a nail maximalist or minimalist? Let’s find out!
The Maximalist: Bold and Extra
If your nails are always serving drama, texture, and color, you might just be a nail maximalist. These are the girlies who treat their nails like a fashion statement; long lengths, chrome finishes, 3D charms, glitter, and patterns that scream main character energy.
Nail maximalists don’t shy away from a bold moment. Every mani is a chance to push the boundaries, whether it’s mismatched designs, abstract swirls, or rhinestone-encrusted tips.

If you believe that more is more, maximalist nails are your go-to. And the best part? Press-ons let you swap out designs as often as you change your outfits.
The Minimalist: Subtle and Stylish
On the other end of the spectrum, we have the nail minimalists, a.k.a. those who live by the “less is more” philosophy. Minimalist nails are effortlessly chic, with short lengths, neutral tones, and classic designs that go with everything.
Think Zendaya’s elegant nude manicures or Sofia Richie’s quiet luxury aesthetic. These are the nails you’ll never get tired of. Timeless, sophisticated, and totally low-maintenance.

How to Find Your Nail Style
Not sure where you fit in? Here’s a quick way to find out:
Do you love bold colors and embellishments? → Maximalist.

If you’re feeling torn, don’t stress. There’s nothing stopping you from switching between the two. In fact, why choose just one when you can mix and match? Build your own bundle with any three styles here and switch up your look whenever the mood strikes.

That’s the beauty of press-ons—you can match your nails to your mood without committing to one style forever.
At the end of the day, the best nails are the ones that make you feel like you. With PaintLab’s press-ons, you can try out both styles without breaking the bank.
